What Is a Candlestick?
Each candle represents price action for a fixed time period — 1 minute, 5 minutes, 1 day. Every candle carries four numbers: Open, High, Low, Close (OHLC).
- The body is the range between open and close.
- The wicks (shadows) show the high and low reached during that period.
- A green/white candle means close > open (buyers won that period).
- A red/black candle means close < open (sellers won).
